An assistant coach for a Colorado youth hockey team was fired after video surfaced of him giving a profanity-laced rant to his players before a game.

The coach was a volunteer assistant for the Bantam A. Black hockey team in the Littleton Hockey Association, according to Denver 7. The association was made aware of the speech following a complaint by USA Hockey.

Bantam A. Black was getting ready to face Green Mountain Fall on Oct. 6 when the coach went on his fiery rant.

Video of the speech shows the coach screaming at the players to try and fire them up.

"I was made aware of this situation in October through an email with what others believed was said from outside the locker room. Upon review, I immediately suspended the assistant coach. He was very embarrassed and issued a letter of apology to the opposing team and apologized to his team," the statement read.

A representative of the association told Denver 7 additional training resources would be made available to its coaches and players following the incident. They also said the association "takes pride in providing a safe place for players, and the video is not a representation of our association."
